Solution-D Digital Microphones

www.neumann.com

It is well-known that digital signals provide the necessary conditions for mathematically precise calculation and processing, allowing signals to be modiﬁed, copied, transmitted and stored as desired, with no loss of quality. In contrast, analog signal processing is characterized by limited precision, error accumulation, a lack of redundant signal information, and no possibility to include error correction procedures. In the analog signal transmission chain, every processing step is thus associated with a deterioration of signal quality. This results in a progressive decrease in dynamic range, due to the introduction of noise voltages and nonlinear distortion. Moreover, digital processing permits the performance of functions that are diﬃcult or impossible to implement by means of analog signal processing. This is particularly the case with functions that require intermediate data storage.

A microphone technology milestone With the Solution-D digital microphone system, Neumann has succeeded in bringing the dynamic range and signal ﬁdelity of the best analog studio microphones into the digital domain, thus making possible an entirely digital signal chain for audio production. Thanks to optimized A/D conversion, especially developed synchronization technology, and the capability of controlling standard microphone parameters and various integrated signal processing functions remotely, Solution-D meets the most demanding requirements of professional audio production. The fundamental principle of the technology permits recordings to be made with no „bottlenecks“ in the signal chain.

Why digital signal processing? With the development of the ﬁrst digital recording equipment, the digitization of audio data began many years ago, at the end of the signal processing chain. By now, almost all audio signal processing components are available in digital form.

An extremely fast peak limiter integrated into the microphone provides constant protection from overloading. The Neumann A/D converter, which is likewise located in the microphone, eliminates the necessity of tedious experimentation with external converters and preamps. The Neumann sound, with optimal quality, is therefore captured directly on the hard drive. Users can rely onw this, and thus have more time for the essentials.

Components and interfaces The power supply, remote control, synchronization, and signal and data transmission of the digital microphones

TRUE NEUMANN SOUND: The legendary Neumann sound in the digital realm. Pure Neumann capsule sound. 4

The System Description

conform to the AES42 standard. Neumann made a decisive contribution to the development of this standard, which supplies the necessary preconditions for the implementation of digital microphone technology. A Solution-D digital microphone system consists of the following components: One or more digital microphones, a Digital Microphone Interface (DMI) and the Remote Control Software (RCS), which facilitates the operation and permits the remote control of the microphones. A PC or Mac can serve as the control computer, which of course can also be used simultaneously as Didital Audio Workstation for recording. A DMI permits connection to all subsequent devices that have an AES/EBU interface. As an alternative to a DMI, a „Connection Kit“ can be used to connect Solution-D microphones to the AES/EBU or S/PDIF interface of a recording system. However, if a Connection Kit is used, it is not possible to control the microphone functions remotely. Thus a control computer is not required. In this case, if it is necessary to synchronize several microphones, a sample rate converter must be used. All of the possible Solution-D system conﬁgurations are illustrated on the following pages. If users later wish to take advantage of additional adjustable parameters and remotely controlled functions, the system can be expanded at any time through the acquisition of a separate DMI.

Remote control of standard microphone parameters The DMI digital microphone interfaces permits familiar microphone settings such as the directional characteristic, pre-attenuation and low-cut ﬁlter to be controlled remotely and saved. Changing the settings of microphone parameters is greatly simpliﬁed, which makes it possible for settings to be tested rapidly from the monitoring position, in order to optimize the sound quality. All of the settings can be saved together with any desired additional information, thus eliminating the necessity of keeping a hand-written log of the recording procedure.

Integrated digital audio signal processing An A/D converter, developed and patented by Neumann, receives the signal directly from the capsule, and is opti-

mized for the specific signal and impedance parameters of the capsule. Level matching that may be desired for subsequent equipment takes place in the digital domain, in the microphone. Analog components such as preamplifiers and A/D converters are thus no longer required, resulting in considerable cost savings. The special A/D converter technology makes it possible to have the complete dynamic range of the microphone capsule available in the digital domain, with no restrictions. Setting gain levels is therefore no longer critical. A particularly significant feature is the peak limiter function. Located for the first time in the most effective position, at the signal source, it reduces transient peaks as the level reaches 0 dBFS, when distortion would normally be inevitable. Analog microphones require extensive headroom in the subsequent signal path to handle such signal peaks, which are short but have a large amplitude. Independently of the peak limiter, a compressor/limiter can also be activated, permitting detailed adjustment via the corresponding parameters. In addition, functions such as mute and phase reverse are also integrated into the microphone. Visual commands such as „On air“ are implemented by means of remotely controlled LEDs in the D-01 microphone. Acoustic commands in the form of various test signals can be used to facilitate line checks. The firmware of all the digital microphones can be updated via uploading at any time.

Data transmitted by the microphone Information transmitted by the microphone includes the name of the manufacturer, the model and serial number, the software version installed in the microphone, and the remotely controllable functions that are supported by the microphone. Status indicators such as „ready for operation“ and speciﬁc warning functions are also transmitted.

A/D conversion Despite continuing improvements, integrated circuits available on the market still constitute a limiting factor in the conversion of audio data from analog to digital form. The best currently available delta-sigma A/D converters typically achieve a dynamic range of 115 dB to 120 dB, A-weighted, with a word length of 24 bits.

TRUE TO THE ORIGINAL:

TRUE CONVERSION:

The satisfaction of recording the uncolored original, with no „bottlenecks“ between the capsule and the recording system.

The guarantee of having one of the best A/D converters available.

A/D

In comparison, a high-quality analog condenser microphone has a dynamic range of up to 130 dB. A/D conversion with a considerably better performance is therefore required, in order to prevent the addition of noise to the signal. At the same time, this process must be optimally adapted to the signal levels and source impedance found in the microphone. If the A/D conversion is carried out only after the signal reaches the mixing console or other equipment, this is usually associated with loss of signal quality, since the conversion takes place only after the gain levels have been set. Headroom aspects and noise contributed by the microphone preampliﬁer and A/D converter thus aﬀect the dynamic range. Consequently, the development goal was to achieve highquality digitization of the capsule signal directly in the microphone, so that level matching and other processing steps could be carried out in the digital realm. This is the only way of maintaining the full quality of the microphone signal.

Synchronization The AES42 standard deﬁnes the following two methods of synchronizing the microphone with the receiver (e.g. a mixing console or a DMI digital microphone interface). Mode 1: The microphone operates asynchronously, using the sampling rate of its internal quartz oscillator. In this case, a sample rate converter is required at the receiver. This mode should be used only if mode 2 synchronization is not possible, since conventional sample rate converters often impair the dynamic range, and increase the latency time. Mode 2: The microphone is synchronized with a master word clock. This can be either an external word clock or the internal word clock of the DMI. In this case a frequency/phase comparison with the master word clock is carried out in the AES42 receiver (DMI). A control signal is generated that is transmitted to the microphone via the remote control data stream, controlling the frequency of the quartz oscillator in the microphone. Via the BNC output of the DMI, the internal word clock generator can be used to synchronize additional DMIs and subsequent processing equipment, such as a mixing console.

The microphones The signal generated by the capsule is converted directly into a digital signal. The result is a digital output signal with 24 bits and, for example, a dynamic range of 130 dB (A-weighted) in the case of the D-01. If required, the digital signal processing (DSP) functions integrated into the microphone can be configured and controlled remotely via the DMI digital microphone interface and the RCS remote control software. These functions include gain setting, changing the directional characteristic in the case of the D-01, pre-attenuation, a low-cut filter, a compressor/limiter with an additional de-esser function, and a peak limiter. Here in particular the digital approach can provide a significant advantage. The peak limiter, which receives the output signal almost directly from the capsule, functions as a completely automatic „safety valve“, permitting the safe utilization of the entire available dynamic range even in stressful recording situations. External components that were previously required, such as analog preamplifiers and A/D converters, are no longer necessary. To permit clear identification, the microphones send information such as the name of the manufacturer, model, serial number and currently installed software version to the receiver. The microphones are equipped with three-pin XLR connectors. A bidirectional signal conforming to the AES42 standard is transmitted, containing the balanced digital microphone output signal, the phantom power supply, and a remote control data stream, which includes a signal for synchronizing the microphones with a master clock.

The D-01 large-diaphragm digital microphone Its 15 diﬀerent remotely controlled directional characteristics and numerous additional features permit the D-01 to be optimally adapted to almost any recording situation. These comprehensive features demonstrate what can be achieved with digital microphone technology. The D-01 has a newly developed capsule, and is valued by users particularly for its hitherto unknown transparency and ﬁdelity to detail.

TRUE HANDLING SAFETY: Anti-clipping processing ensures handling safety, and reduces stress. 6

The System Description

The TLM 103 D large-diaphragm digital microphone For many years the analog version of the TLM 103 D has played an important role for ambitious home recording and project studios. This microphone has made the Neumann sound available to a broad spectrum of demanding audio engineers and musicians. The TLM 103 D provides all of the sound features of its analog counterpart, in addition to the advantages of digital circuit technology described above.

The KMS 104 D and KMS 105 D digital vocal microphones The microphones KMS 104 D and KMS 105 D are the transition of the well-established KMS 104/105 analog microphones into the digital domain. Based on the AES42 standard, these microphones are an ideal choice for live and on-stage applications. They provide all of the features of their analog counterparts. Additionally, they oﬀer the advantages of the digital circuit technology, such as extended dynamic range, a more robust operation (EMC safe) and the avoidance of clipping as a result of the integrated peak limiter/ compressor. Use of one of the digital microphone interfaces together with the Remote Control Software (RCS) permits pre-programmed settings to be stored in the microphones.

The KMR 81 D digital shotgun microphone The KMR 81 D is the transition of the well-established KMR 81 i shotgun microphone into the digital domain. It provides all of the features of its analog counterpart, which made it a favorite of sound engineers in movie and documentary productions. Additionally it oﬀers the advantages of the digital circuit technology, such as extended dynamic range, a more robust operation (EMC safe) and the avoidance of clipping as a result of the integrated peak limiter/compressor. The settings for all functions can be recalled, set and stored in the microphone by using one of the digital microphone interfaces.

The KM D digital miniature microphones The KM D microphones are the digital counterparts of the well-known, successful 180 miniature microphone series.

In the analog realm, the KM 184 in particular is regarded as a standard for miniature condenser microphones, and is one of the best-selling of all Neumann microphones. Eight diﬀerent capsule characteristics are provided. The KM D microphones have a modular design, so that the KM D output stage can be combined with diﬀerent capsules. All capsule heads can also be used with the analog KM A output stage.

The S/PDIF and AES/EBU Connection Kits In addition to the DMI digital microphone interface, Neumann also provides „Connection Kits“ at an attractive price, to permit the simple connection of individual microphones to the widely used S/PDIF and AES/EBU interfaces. This allows numerous users to enjoy easy access to „Neumann sound direct to disk“, without the extensive functionality of a comprehensive DMI. Power is provided by an included plug-in power supply unit. Of course it is possible to upgrade to a DMI at any time, in order to take advantage of the additional conﬁguration capabilities and DSP functions.

The DMI-2 digital microphone interface The 2-channel DMI-2 digital microphone interface provides powering and remote control of Solution-D microphones, and outputs their audio data in AES/EBU format. Microphones of other manufacturers that are compatible with the AES42 standard (e.g. the Sennheiser MKH 8000 with MZD 8000) can of course also be connected to the digital microphone interface, if they can be synchronized. The Interface is operated via the Neumann RCS remote control software, which is installed on a desktop or laptop computer. The computer is connected to the DMI via a USB port and a USB to RS 485 interface converter. If a large number of microphones is used, several DMIs can be cascaded. In this case, each digital microphone interface can be addressed individually. In addition to a word clock input and output, the DMIs also have an internal word clock generator. If no master word clock signal (e.g. from a mixing console) is present at the input, the DMI internal word clock is used automatically to synchronize the microphone channels, and the signal is switched to the word clock output.

TRUE TIME SAVINGS: Reduced time requirements and personnel costs, particularly due to faster post production processing.

TRUE ECONOMY:

Lower investment costs, since separate A/D converters and preamps are no longer needed. This also means space and weight 7 savings (e.g. in the OB van).

The System Description

External commands such as „On Air“ (red light) can be controlled via a 9-pin user port. Overview of the most important functions: - AES42 to EBU conversion - Powering, remote control and synchronization of the microphones without a sample rate converter (AES42, mode 2*) - Automatic word clock or AES11 synchronization - All sample rates, from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz - Complete control and storage of the settings via Mac or PC * Explanation Mode 2: The DMI performs a frequency/phase comparison between the word clock signal recovered from the mic signal, and the word clock of the DMI. From the phase deviation thus determined, the DMI calculates a control signal which is transmitted via the remote control data stream to the mic, where it controls the frequency of the internal quartz oscillator.

The DMI-2 portable digital microphone interface The DMI-2 portable is the ideal digital microphone interface solution for ENG and other field recording applications. It supports two digital microphones and allows adjustment of the Gain, Pre Attenuation and Low Cut filter settings at the device The front panel display shows the selected gain and, by means of bar graphs, shows the current signal level and any gain reduction. Of course, these functions can also be operated via the RCS software. Microphone presets can be stored inside the DMI-2 portable and recalled for use in the field.

- D-sub 25 outputs with Tascam® and Yamaha® pin assignments - Optical ADAT® interface - Open architecture for later connection to other multichannel interfaces and audio networks, such as Ether Sound® and MADI The DMI-8 oﬀers several possibilities for easy integration into audio networks. The ES100 (DMI-8) module permits integration into EtherSound networks.

The RCS remote control software All parameters are displayed on the screen, and can be changed at any time. During production, the audio engineer can monitor the operating status and parameters of all of the connected microphones and, if necessary, can change the settings quickly and easily. The parameters displayed include the directional characteristic, pre-attenuation, low-cut ﬁlter, gain, various microphone status indicators, command indicators, and mute and phase reverse functions. Signal levels and the operation of the compressor or limiter can also be monitored on the screen. Information transmitted by the microphone, such as the name of the manufacturer, model and serial number, is also displayed for clear identiﬁcation of the connected microphones. Moreover, it is possible to input additional information such as the name of the sound source. Settings for the complete microphone setup can of course be stored and retrieved as required.

The DMI-8 digital microphone interface The DMI-8, an eight-channel version of the digital microphone interface is considerably simplifying the setup for multichannel applications. In addition to the proven functions of the two-channel DMI-2 the DMI-8 also oﬀers the following features: - The capability of cascading up to 128 channels - Level meter and gain setting on the front panel, operable even without a computer

Product Information

M 147 Tube Tube Microphone

www.neumann.com

he M 147 Tube is a vacuum tube condenser microphone with cardioid characteristic. At the heart of this microphone is the K 47/49 dual diaphragm capsule, inherited from this model’s now legendary predecessors, the U 47 and the M 49.

Features • Universal tube microphone • Pressure gradient transducer with the large diaphragm capsule from the legendary U 47 and M 49

Following the capsule is a tube that functions as an impedance converter. The next stage is an efficient, transformerless output circuit, that guarantees an extremely low selfnoise level. Note: This innovative combination of current tube technology with the most advanced solid-state circuitry was decisive in awarding the 1997 TEC Award to the related M 149 Tube mic.

• Transformerless circuitry

The M 147 Tube can feed extremely long microphone cables without affecting the quality of the audio signal.

Application Hints

Like all Neumann tube microphones, the M 147 Tube comes with an elegant satin nickel finish.

• Low self noise level • Comes with swivel stand mount made of metal, universal power supply, and cable in an attractive aluminium case

• Vocalist mic: its warm and yet transparent sound gives volume and presence • Announcer’s mic for broadcasting/voice over

The microphone is delivered as a complete set in a highquality aluminum case. Included with the microphone are a microphone cable, a metal swivel mount for a mic stand, and a compact universal power supply for standard mains sockets. Our modern manufacturing methods makes it possible to offer this complete set at a very attractive price.

• Spot mic for close miking of solo instruments, especially strings, wind instruments, and piano

Applications

Delivery Range

The famous capsule, together with complimenting tube characteristics, makes the M 147 Tube especially well suited as a vocal mic. In addition, it is a superb spot mic for all types of musical instruments.

M 147 Tube microphone, N 149 A power supply incl. power cable, SG 2 swivel mount, KT 8 microphone cable, dust cover, aluminium case

The extremely low self-noise of its tube circuitry makes the mic perfectly suited for use in modern recording chains, analog and digital.

Acoustic Features The M 147 Tube is addressed from the side where the microphone body has the diamond-shaped Neumann company logo. The black color identifies tube microphones. The capsule is equivalent to the one used in the U 47, and is the deciding factor in determining the sound characteristic. It has a flat frequency response to the upper midrange, and a boost of up to 3 dB above 2 kHz.

These are just some of the most common applications. We recommend additional experimentation to gain maximum use from this microphone.

The M 147 Tube has a cardioid characteristic, leaning more toward super-cardioid due to its distinctive capsule design. At higher frequencies the pattern becomes more directional. This is very similar to the model after which this new tube microphone was patterned, the U 47 and the successor, the U 47 fet.

M 147 Tube

Electrical Features

Filter

When compared to other microphones, the impedance converter used in the M 147 Tube is distinguished by its extremely low self-noise level of only 12 dB-A / 24 dB CCIR weighted.

The electronic circuitry of the M 147 Tube mic has a flat frequency response from 20 Hz to well above 20 kHz. Only the attributes of the capsule determine the typical sound characteristics of the microphone.

Similar to the recently introduced M 149 Tube, the new M 147 Tube combines a specifically selected vacuum tube (triode) with modern circuitry. This technique takes full advantage of the special transfer characteristics of the tube and passes the processed audio signal of the capsule to the microphone output, without any coloration or unwanted side effects. The tube amplifies the capsuleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signal by approximately 10 dB, thus preventing any possible influences from subsequent electronics. The M 147 Tube delivers a high output voltage, and therefore can feed microphone cables up to 300 m length without signal degradation.

N 149 A Power Supply The N 149 A universal power supply works with all mains AC voltages from 100 V to 240 V, 50 or 60 Hz. Mains power is connected through a standard IEC 320 mains socket. The only difference between the three versions of the M 147 Tube set is the power cord supplied. Note: The N 149 V power supply is fully compatible with the M 147 Tube microphone.

The ideal operating conditions (anode current and heater voltage) of the tube are maintained throughout its life expectancy. A sensor lead detects any voltage drop that occurs through the microphone cable and compensates for it in the N 149 A power supply. The tube warms up gradually using inverse current limiting to guarantee long life.

Operational Stability Both, the capsule and the entire circuitry are shock mounted to prevent any structure-borne noise. Because of its wide operating range, the M 147 Tube can reproduce extremely low frequency signals without distortion. This implies that the microphone may also be sensitive to unwanted LF interference by structure-borne noise, or wind noise. To avoid possible signal degradation, we offer the EA 1 elastic suspension and the WS 87 windscreen as accessories. During close miking of vocals we recommend using the PS 15 or PS 20 a pop screen. You will find detailed information in our accessory catalog.

M 149 Tube Tube Microphone

www.neumann.com

he M 149 Tube is a variable dual-diaphragm microphone. The K 49 capsule – wellknown from the legendary U 47 and M 49 microphones – is followed by a tube functioning as an impedance converter. In contrast to earlier concepts – utilizing a transformer – the tube is complemented with a transformerless output circuit design.

The M 149 Tube can thus feed long microphone cables without any coloration. Two slide switches are located below the large, acoustically very open headgrille. The switch at the front allows selection one of nine directional patterns. The slide switch at the rear operates a seven-step high pass filter. It allows a very fine adjustment of the cut-off frequency.

Applications There are nine polar patterns to choose from, making this microphone an ideal choice for a wide range of recording situations. As its ancestors, the M 149 Tube is a superb vocalist microphone, not only because of the capsule, but also due to its modern circuitry, characterized by extremely low noise level.

Acoustic features The M 149 Tube is addressed from the front, marked with the Neumann logo. Also on the front is the switch for the selection of the polar patterns. The capsule is mounted elastically inside the headgrille to eliminate structure borne noise. The surface below the capsule is shaped like a cone to disperse any reflected sound from the acoustic upper half space. This avoids any interference with the primary sound arriving at the capsule directly. A large headgrille surrounds the capsule. It is acoustically very open and therefore increases the sonic realism.

The design of the microphone is a registered design of the Georg Neumann GmbH in certain countries.

M 149 Tube

Polar patterns The polar pattern switch selects one of nine directional patterns: omnidirectional, wide-angle-cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, figure-8, and one additional intermediate pattern between each major position.

Electrical features The circuit of the M 149 Tube microphone has been developed to exceed traditional designs. We have selected a modern tube (triode) and combined its exceptional transmission characteristics with the advantages of our proven transformerless output circuit. The aim was to provide a more controlled environment for the audio signal on its path from the capsule to the output section. The final stage is an integrated amplifier, especially designed for such applications. It features very low distortion (THD < 0.002 % at Âą 10 V), very low self-noise, and high output current capability. As a result, the tube circuit is completely decoupled from the microphone output and its characteristic response curve will be unaffected by very high signal levels or varying load conditions. The lower output impedance and higher output current capability allow cable lengths up to 300 m (1000 feet) without any degradation of the audio signal. The tube amplifier changes the high impedance of the capsule and adds 10 dB of gain to the audio signal, providing optimum operating spec-

ifications. The wide dynamic range is impressive, as peak output can be ±10 V, at 20 mA. The ideal operating point of the tube is maintained throughout its entire life expectancy. Plate current and filament voltage are constantly regulated. A sensor circuit monitors and compensates for any voltage drop across the microphone cable. The tube is heated up slowly through inverse current limiting to guarantee long life. Optimum operating conditions are reached within a very short time.

A seven-position slide switch is located on the back of the microphone. It selects a high-pass filter, advancing in half-octave steps between 20 Hz and 160 Hz (–3dB). This filter is useful to suppress rumble from air-conditioning and in windy situations. In addition, the filter provides an effective tool to control the audio signal when the microphone is used at close distance and therefore proximity effect alters the program material.

M 150 Tube Tube Microphone

www.neumann.com

ince the 1950s, the Neumann M 50 has been heralded as the ideal microphone for orchestral recording and string scoring. With its phenomenal transient response and unique directional characteristic, this classic mic has endeared many fans, both in the control room and on the soundstage. The new M 150 Tube takes many of the features from the original M 50 and incorporates them in a very modern microphone. With low self noise, a Titanium membrane and capsule, transformerless tube amplifier and sophisticated power supply, the M 150 Tube is not a reissue but an entirely new microphone in its own right.

Acoustical features The Titanium diaphragm of the pressure capsule is 12 mm in diameter and is exceedingly thin. Although Titanium has been known to have unique and desirable characteristics for some time, it has, until very recently, been very difficult to procure in the quality necessary for use in a microphone of this type. The headgrille is shaped just like that on the original M 50, as requested by various top engineers in the recording industry. Due to mounting the pressure capsule with the diaphragm flush to the surface of a small (40 mm) sphere, the directional characteristic of the M 150 Tube is entirely unique. At the lowest frequencies, this system is a pure omnipressure transducer with a perfectly circular polar pattern. However, in the midand upper frequencies, the pickup pattern becomes more narrow. The M 150 Tube is an ideal microphone for any stereo, 5.1 or 7.1 surround recording, particularly DECCA Tree technique.

Features • All Titanium capsule • Unparalleled transient accuracy • Pressure omni capsule for extended low frequency response • Modern version of the worldfamous M 50 • Very low self noise of 15 dB-A

The design of the microphone is a registered design of the Georg Neumann GmbH in certain countries.

• Transformerless tube amplifier based on the award-winning M 149 Tube microphone • Ideal for DECCA tree recording and surround miking techniques • Stereo sets with consecutive serial numbers

TLM 49 Large Diaphragm Microphone

www.neumann.com

he TLM 49 is a large-diaphragm studio microphone with a cardioid directional characteristic and a warm sound which is especially optimized for vocal performance. It is supplied as a set, with an elastic suspension. The design is inspired by that of the legendary M 49 and M 50 microphones of the 1950s. Naturally the TLM 49 has the typical Neumann fine matte nickel finish. The “sound design” is also oriented toward that of the M 49 and the U 47. By combining its retro look with proven Neumann transformerless circuit technology, this microphone ensures low self-noise and the use of high gain levels.

Applications During the development phase, the sound was adjusted in extensive practical tests, so as to make the TLM 49 ideal particularly for vocal and speech recording. However, in addition, it is also suitable for instrumental applications in professional production studios and demanding home recordings.

Polar patterns The large-diaphragm capsule of the TLM 49 provides a cardioid directional characteristic with a tendency toward supercardioid, due to the special capsule construction. Following the example of the M 49, high frequencies are more directional. The capsule diameter is 34 mm. The front of the microphone is indicated by the red Neumann logo on the microphone body. The capsule is oriented so that the microphone is addressed from the front.

Acoustic features The TLM 49 uses the famous K 47 capsule, which was also used in the M 49 and the U 47. The capsule has a linear frequency response up to the upper mid-range. Above 2 kHz there is a gentle presence boost up to 3 dB. The capsule is enclosed by a large microphone headgrille, which is acoustically very open and is hence neutral with regard to the sound.

Electrical features

The design of the microphone is a registered design of the Georg Neumann GmbH in certain countries.

The letters TLM stand for “transformerless microphone”. With TLM technology the usual output transformer is replaced by an electronic circuit. As with traditional transformers, it ensures good common mode rejection, and prevents RF interference that may influence the balanced audio signal.

TLM 49

Noise signals which affect the balanced modulation line are therefore effectively suppressed. The microphone can operate at sound pressure levels of up to 129 dB, and provides a dynamic range of 117 dB (A-weighted).

Operational reliability The entire interior structure is mounted elastically, to prevent the transmission of structure-borne noise. In addition, the capsule is mounted with a rubber shock mount. Due to the wide frequency response, the TLM 49 can also transmit extremely low-frequency signals without coloration. Of course this means that the microphone is also sensitive to noise signals such as vibration noise and wind noise in this frequency range. The TLM 49 is therefore supplied with the elastic suspension EA 3, which effectively protects the microphone from structure-borne noise. If the microphone is addressed at extremely close range, pop screen PS 15 or PS 20 a can be used in front of the microphone to provide protection against plosive sounds.

Features • Sound profile optimized for vocal performance • Pressure gradient transducer with the large-diaphragm capsule of the legendary U 47 • Cardioid characteristic

• Retro design • Transformerless output circuitry • Acoustically very open wire mesh headgrille • Complete set with elastic suspension

Application Hints • Vocal microphone: Lends richness, power and brilliance to the voice, while remaining balanced and transparent • Announcer’s microphone for broadcasting, dubbing and voiceovers • Spot microphone and for recording e.g. strings, piano and guitar These are just some of the most common applications. We recommend additional experimentation to gain maximum use from this microphone.

TLM 102 Large Diaphragm Microphone

www.neumann.com

he TLM 102 defines a new generation of Neumann studio microphones. This applies not only to the design of the microphone but also to the price.

Smart. Sweet. Powerful. The reduced overall size contributes to an exceptionally compact appearance, which unites all of the typical design components of a Neumann microphone. The harmonious proportions and gleaming grille ring ensure that even at first glance, the TLM 102 attracts attention. The TLM 102 is impressive in terms of sound: In the interior is a newly developed large-diaphragm capsule (cardioid) with a maximum sound pressure level of 144 dB, which permits the recording of percussion, drums, amps and other very loud sound sources, for example. Instruments that are not especially loud also benefit from the very fast transient response of the TLM 102. However its most important applications are in the realm of vocals and speech; a slight boost above 6 kHz provides for excellent presence of the voice in the overall mix. Up to 6 kHz the frequency response is extremely linear, ensuring minimal coloration and a clearly defined bass range. The capsule is elastically mounted for the suppression of structure-borne noise. A pop screen integrated into the grille serves to suppress plosives in vocal and speech recording. Due to its price and flexible field of application, the TLM 102 is ideal for the home recording and project studio sector, as well as for the broadcasting area, especially when clear lines of sight to the speakers are a priority. The TLM 102 is available in black and nickel, a stand mount is included.

Features • Large-diaphragm microphone with cardioid directional characteristic (pressure gradient transducer) • Compact, characteristic but smaller-scale Neumann design • Very high maximum sound pressure level The design of the microphone is a registered design of the Georg Neumann GmbH in certain countries.

TLM 103 Large Diaphragm Microphone

www.neumann.com

he TLM 103 is the ideal large diaphragm microphone for all professional and semi-professional applications requiring the utmost in sound quality on a limited budget. By utilizing the tried and true transformerless circuit found in numerous Neumann microphones, the TLM 103 features yet unattained low self-noise and the highest sound pressure level transmission. The capsule, derived from that used in the U 87, has a cardioid pattern, is acoustically well-balanced and provides extraordinary attenuation of signals from the rear. The TLM 103 is available in satin nickel and matte black. Delivery includes an SG 1 metal swivel mount and a wooden jeweler’s box.

Applications Due to the universal cardioid pattern, straightforward handling, extremely low self-noise level, and finally, the price, the TLM 103 is predestined for all demanding applications from home recording to professional broadcasting and commercial recording studios.

Polar pattern The TLM 103 is equipped with a large diaphragm capsule with cardioid pattern. By focusing on this pattern – used in most recording situations – the attenuation of unwanted rear sound has been optimized. Off-axis sounds are rendered naturally while isolation is increased. This also leads to a high feedback suppression when the microphone is used in live situations or where loudspeaker playback is a factor.

Acoustic features

The design of the microphone is a registered design of the Georg Neumann GmbH in certain countries.

The TLM 103 is addressed from the front, marked with the red Neumann logo on the microphone body. The K 103 large diaphragm capsule is based on the K 87, well known from the U 67 / U 87 microphones.

TLM 103

The capsule has a flat frequency response up to about 5 kHz, and above that, a wide flat 4 dB presence boost. The large wire mesh headgrille protects the capsule from plosive sounds and effectively prevents pop noises. These characteristics are achieved without resorting to corrective resonance effects. Therefore, the microphone maintains an excellent impulse response and reproduces the finest details of music and speech without coloration.

Application Hints • A universal cardioid mic • Vocalist recording • Announcer’s mic for broadcasting/voice over • Due to minimal self-noise: on-air mic for radio/broadcast, very low amplitude signals, radio drama, sampling, foley/sound effects • Home recording and project studios • Spot mic for wind instruments, strings, percussion, guitar amps, drum overhead

Electrical features With just 7 dB-A / 17.5 dB CCIR the self-noise level of the TLM 103 is so reduced that even the smallest signals are reproduced basically noise-free. As it is capable of handling sound pressure levels up to 138 dB without distortion, the TLM 103 provides a dynamic range of 131 dB (Aweighted).

These are just some of the most common applications. We recommend additional experimentation to gain maximum use from this microphone.

The letters TLM stand for “transformerless microphone”. With TLM technology the usual output transformer is replaced by an electronic circuit.

TLM 193 Large Diaphragm Microphone

www.neumann.com

he TLM 193 is a large diaphragm microphone with a cardioid polar pattern. With this microphone Neumann continues its long tradition, and is offering high end technology at an affordable price for musicians and the home recording studio. The microphone uses a transformerless circuit, featuring extremely low self noise and large dynamic range.

The design of the microphone is a registered design of the Georg Neumann GmbH in certain countries.

The polar response is very linear over a wide incidence angle. Thus, even signals coming from the side are reproduced faithfully and without coloration. The exposed surface of the microphone capsule is at ground potential, making it immune to typical interference and contamination. The microphone is supplied with a swivel mount.

Applications The TLM 193 is a microphone with cardioid characteristic for professional recording and live applications. It is the ideal microphone for professional productions, for musicians and project studios.

Polar pattern The TLM 193 has a large diaphragm capsule with cardioid characteristic.

Acoustic features The TLM 193 is addressed from the front, marked with the Neumann logo.

Features • Large diaphragm cardioid microphone • Pressure-gradient transducer • Transformerless circuitry • Extremely low noise: 10 dB (A) • Includes swivel mount

• The “plug and play” microphone for professional studios, musicians and homerecording applications • High-quality professional equipment for mid-size budgets

The large diaphragm capsule inside the headgrille has a very smooth frequency response for all polar patterns over a wide acceptance angle. The curves are flat and parallel to the 0° frequency curve up to 10 kHz within a pickup angle of ± 100°.

TLM 193

The TLM 193 differs from omnidirectional pressure transducers, where, due to physical reasons, the diffuse-field and free-field responses never agree. This microphone has a very even diffuse-field response for all polar patterns. This is important in a reverberant environment, as more reflections arrive at the microphone from different directions.

This implies that the microphone becomes more sensitive to subsonic frequencies, from structure borne noise or pop and wind noise. To avoid any LF interference, we recommend to use the EA 1 elastic suspension, the PS 15 pop screen, or the WS 89 windscreen.

The acoustic information is not affected in its tonal quality when recorded by the microphone. This characteristic is achieved without resorting to corrective resonance effects.

Application Hints

Therefore, the microphone maintains an excellent impulse response reproducing all transient phenomena of music and speech without coloration.

• Announcer’s mic for broadcasting/dubbing

Electrical features The letters TLM stand for “transformerless microphone”. With TLM technology the usual output transformer is replaced by an electronic circuit. As with traditional transformers, it ensures good common mode rejection, and prevents RF interference, that may influence the balanced audio signal. Compared to other microphones the self noise level of the TLM 193 is considerably reduced. As it is capable of handling sound pressure levels up to 140 dB without distortion, the TLM 193 provides a dynamic range of 130 dB (A-weighted).

• A universal cardioid mic • Ideal for close miking of instruments with high sound pressure levels • Home recording and project studios • Vocalist recording • Spot mic for - wind instruments - strings - percussion - guitar amps These are just some of the most common applications.

TLM 67 Large Diaphragm Microphone

www.neumann.com

In the world of studio microphones, the numbers “47”, “67” and “87” have associations that inspire enthusiasm among professionals in the field. It is of course no coincidence that the name of the new TLM 67 contains the number “67”. In many respects, the TLM 67 is based on the “workhorse” of the 1960s, the legendary U 67. Like the U 67, the TLM 67 incorporates the K 67 capsule. In addition, the special new circuit design closely reproduces the sound characteristics of the classic U 67, without the use of tubes. Similar Neumann circuit technology has already proved very successful in the TLM 49. The TLM 67 is extremely versatile. Its three switchable directional characteristics (omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8), selectable 10 dB pre-attenuation and high-pass filter permit detailed adjustments to be made, depending upon the specific recording situation.

Exterior design The TLM 67 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone in the classic Neumann style, with a unique dual-color design. The stylish pearl-gray of the microphone body combined with the classic Neumann nickel lends the microphone a touch of distinctive individuality. The legendary, frequently imitated design of the Neumann U 67 was the first to be developed by Neumann employees in collaboration with the famous German designer, Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg. The design of the TLM 67 represents a contemporary development of that of the U 67, transferring its positive impact to the present era. The enhanced exterior design thus links past and future microphone design trends. On the occasion of its 80th anniversary, the Neumann company is honoring its founder, Georg Neumann, with a threedimensional metal emblem on the front of the TLM 67. The distinctive Neumann attraction is conveyed in every detail of the microphone.

Applications Due to its extensive control features, the TLM 67 is suitable for a wide range of applications. In addition to its primary role as a vocal microphone for all types of music and spoken voice, in orchestral recordings the TLM 67 can be used as a main microphone and as a spot microphone for individual instruments.

Acoustic features The microphone is addressed from the side on which the Neumann logo is located.

The design of the microphone is a registered design of the Georg Neumann GmbH in certain countries.

A large wire mesh grille encloses the elastically mounted double diaphragm capsule. The directional characteristics omnidirectional, cardioid or figure-8 can be selected via a switch below the grille. The selected setting is indicated by a symbol shown in a window above the switch.

TLM 67

Electrical features The letters “TLM” stand for “transformerless microphone”. In the TLM 67, an electronic circuit is used rather than a conventional output transformer. Like a transformer, the circuit ensures good common mode rejection, effectively suppressing interference signals that affect the balanced modulation line. The microphone can operate at sound pressure levels of up to 105 dB without distortion, and has a dynamic range of 94 dB (A-weighted), without the use of the preattenuation switch.

Filter and pre-attenuation The pre-attenuation switch on the back of the microphone can be used to reduce transmission levels by approx. 10 dB. It should be used only when there is a risk of overloading following devices due to very high sound pressure levels. Use of the switch does not increase the dynamic range of the microphone, but rather shifts it by 10 dB, to higher sound pressure levels. The other switch on the back of the microphone can be used to change the cutoff frequency of the built-in high-pass filter, so as to suppress the effects of impact sound and wind noise, or to compensate for the proximity effect.

Operational reliability Elastic mounting of the capsule supplies protection from the transmission of structure-borne noise. If required, the EA 87 elastic suspension and WS 87 windscreen are available as accessories, for further suppression of structure-borne and wind noise. The PS 15 or PS 20 a popscreen can be used if the microphone is to be addressed at close range.

TLM 170 R Large Diaphragm Microphone

www.neumann.com

he TLM 170 R was the first microphone to use the successful fet 100 technology. Along with a balanced, transformerless output stage it features extremely low self-noise and an impressive dynamic range. The design of the microphone is a registered design of the Georg Neumann GmbH in certain countries.

Five directional characteristics are selectable by means of a rotary switch. In the sixth position, marked “R”, the directional patterns can be controlled remotely with the N 248 power supply. There is no special cable necessary for this purpose. The microphone has at its rear a 10 dB attenuation switch for extremely high sound pressure levels, and a high-pass filter to suppress structure born noise.

Applications The TLM 170 R condenser microphone is a large diaphragm microphone with multiple polar patterns. Its sound has a very transparent characteristic, in contrast to some of our other microphones that have a distinct personality. Therefore, this microphone is used for many diverse applications in professional recording studios, in broadcasting, film and television, and for semiprofessional productions. The polar patterns can be selected either at the microphone itself, or controlled remotely through the special N 48 R-2 power supply.

Acoustic features The microphone is addressed from the front, marked with the Neumann logo. The large diaphragm capsule inside the headgrille has a

Features • Local and remote controlled large diaphragm microphone • Pressure-gradient transducer with double membrane capsule • Five directional characteristics: omni, wide angle cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, figure-8

• Patented circuitry for remote and local switching of directional characteristics • Switchable low frequency rolloff and 10 dB preattenuation • Tiltable, elastically suspended bracket mount

TLM 170 R

very smooth frequency response for all polar patterns over a wide acceptance angle. The curves are flat and parallel to the 0° frequency curve up to 10 kHz within an angle of ± 100°. As a result the TLM 170 R has a very even diffuse-field response for all polar patterns. This is important in a reverberant environment, as more reflections arrive at the microphone from different directions. The acoustic information is not affected in its tonal quality when recorded by the microphone. This characteristic is achieved without resorting to corrective resonance effects. Therefore, the microphone maintains an excellent impulse response reproducing all transient phenomena of music and speech without any coloration. The capsule is elastically mounted to avoid any structure borne noise that could interfere with its operation.

Polar patterns

Remote control The N 248 controls the polar pattern remotely by varying the phantom voltage. The range is ± 3 V of the nominal 48 V value. (According to DIN standard a range of ± 4 V is permissible.) The rotary switch on the microphone must be in the position R (= remote control). In this switch position the TLM 170 R microphone analyses the absolute value of the phantom power and selects the corresponding polar pattern. A standard 3-pin microphone cable is used, similar to the microphone’s conventional operation. Cable lengths may be up to 300 m (1000 feet).

In addition to the usual directional polar patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8, we have added a hypercardioid and wide-an-gle cardioid characteristic. When compared to the standard cardioid pattern, the hypercardioid characteristic suppresses sound from the side more efficiently. The wideangle polar pattern is especially useful to record large sound sources.

U 87 Ai Large Diaphragm Microphone

www.neumann.com

he U 87 is probably the best known and most widely used Neumann studio microphone. It is equipped with a large dual-diaphragm capsule with three directional patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8. These are selectable with a switch below the headgrille.

The design of the microphone is a registered design of the Georg Neumann GmbH in certain countries.

A 10 dB attenuation switch is located on the rear. It enables the microphone to handle sound pressure levels up to 127 dB without distortion. Furthermore, the low frequency response can be reduced to compensate for proximity effect.

Applications The U 87 Ai condenser microphone is a large diaphragm microphone with three polar patterns and a unique frequency and transient response characteristic. Users recognize the microphone immediately by its distinctive design. It is a good choice for most general purpose applications in studios, for broadcasting, film and television. The U 87 Ai is used as a main microphone for orchestra recordings, as a spot mic for single instruments, and extensively as a vocal microphone for all types of music and speech.

Acoustic features The U 87 Ai is addressed from the front, marked with the Neumann logo. The frequency response of the cardioid and figure-8 directional characteristics are very flat for frontal sound incidence, even in the upper frequency range.

Features • Variable large diaphragm microphone

• Switchable low frequency roll-off

• Pressure-gradient transducer with double membrane capsule

• Switchable 10 dB preattenuation

• The studio microphone classic

• Ideal as main and as support microphone in the most differing recording situations

• Three directional characteristics: omni, cardioid, figure-8

The microphone can be used very close to a sound source without the sound becoming unnaturally harsh. By means of a high-pass filter interferences through subsonic and low frequencies are reduced remarkably.

U 87 Ai

• For universal use

• The classical studio mic for vocalists (soloists and background vocalists)

• Overhead

A window above this switch shows the symbol of the selected characteristic.

• Spot mic for - wind instruments - strings (especially cello and double bass) - piano - percussion

Electrical features

• Note: To record instruments with very high sound pressure levels we recommend our mics with TLM circuitry

The letter A in the name indicates a more recent generation, as compared to the U 87 i microphones that were built from 1967 to 1986. Modifications apply to the electronic components of the microphone only; the capsule remained unchanged. The present-day circuitry increases the operational headroom of the U 87 Ai by supplying the bias voltages for the capsule through a reduced resistance. The result is a higher sensitivity of 10 dB for identical sound pressure levels, and an improved S/N ratio of 3 dB.

Filter and attenuation A switch located at the rear attenuates the sensitivity by 10 dB. When this switch is activated, the microphone accepts sound pressure levels up to 127 dB (equivalent to a sound pressure of 45 Pa) without distortion. An additional switch at the rear allows to change the microphone's cutoff frequency. This reduces low frequency interference directly at the input of the microphone amplifier. This setting also compensates for the unavoidable bass boost that occurs with all pressure gradient transducers when they are used at close distance (proximity effect). The cardioid characteristic maintains a smooth frequency response at a distance of 30 to 40 cm, the figure-8 characteristic even at a distance of 15 to 20 cm.

U 89 i Large Diaphragm Microphone

www.neumann.com

he U 89 is a studio microphone for universal applications. The headgrille protects a dual-diaphragm capsule. A rotary switch below the headgrille selects from five different polar patterns. Therefore the microphone can be adapted easily to large sound sources, and those that are spread wide apart, or to sound sources to be recorded at a greater distance.

The design of the microphone is a registered design of the Georg Neumann GmbH in certain countries.

The amplifier accepts sound pressure levels up to 134 dB without distortion. This figure can be increased to 140 dB. An additional rotary switch activates a filter that changes the low frequency response either below 80 Hz or 160 Hz.

Applications The U 89 i is similar in appearance to the U 87. It is of smaller size, and lighter weight. It features five instead of three directional characteristics and a higher maximum sound pressure level which make this microphone easier adaptable to different applications.

Polar patterns In addition to the usual directional polar patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8, we have added a hypercardioid and wide-angle cardioid characteristic. When compared to the standard cardioid pattern, the hypercardioid characteristic suppresses sound from the side more efficiently. The wide-angle polar pattern is especially useful to record large sound sources.

Acoustic features

Features • Variable large diaphragm microphone

• Thereby most versatile in all recording situations

• Pressure-gradient transducer with double membrane capsule

• Two-stage roll-off filter

• Five directional characteristics: omni, wide angle cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, figure-8

• Switchable 6 dB preattenuation • Extended frequency range in comparison to U 87 Ai

The microphone is addressed from the front, marked with the Neumann logo. The large diaphragm capsule has a very smooth frequency response for all polar patterns over a wide acceptance angle. The frequency response curves are flat up to 10 kHz within a pickup angle of ± 100°. As a result the U 89 i has a very even diffusefield response for all polar patterns. This is important in a reverberant environment when more reflections arrive at the microphone capsule. The acoustic information is not affected in its tonal quality when recorded by the microphone.

U 89 i

This characteristic is achieved without resorting to corrective resonance effects. The capsule it is elastically mounted to avoid any structure borne noise that could interfere with its operation.

Filter and attenuation The amplifier handles sound pressure levels up to 134 dB without distortion. With a self noise level of 17 dB (A-weighted) the total dynamic range is 117 dB. Maximum sound pressure level is 140 dB when the –6 dB rotary switch is in the ON position. A low frequency roll-off at 80 Hz or 160 Hz can be activated with the third rotary switch below the headgrille. This filter suppresses low frequency interference, yet maintains an even frequency response for close-up sound sources, for example, when proximity effect could adversely affect the program material. A steep high-pass filter in the LIN position prevents the output transformer of the microphone from being overloaded due to undesired subsonic frequencies.

Operational safety All exposed surfaces of the microphone capsule, including the diaphragms, are at ground potential. This technology makes them highly immune to electrical and atmospheric interference and contamination through microscopic dust particles.

KK 204/205 + KK 104/105 S

The sound can be described as full, transparent and naturally warm, without excessive accentuation of the bass. Due to the „single polar pattern design“, the polar patterns are very uniform over the entire frequency range, thus providing the basis for excellent resistance to feedback. The capsules, and also of course the transmitter unit, are available in both nickel and black. Included with the capsule heads is a large nylon bag, which can hold not only the capsule but also the handheld transmitter, battery packs and additional accessories.

KK 204 and KK 205 The KK 204 and KK 205 capsule heads were developed especially for the Sennheiser SKM 2000 system. Particular importance has been placed on further damping of pop sounds and handling noise, an extremely low level of self-noise, and ease of servicing. Both capsule heads have integrated foam pop protection. The foam pores have a greatly increased surface area and can keep extreme moisture away from the capsule.

KK 204 Directional characteristic: Cardioid The capsule of the KMS 104 vocal microphone, exclusively for use with the Sennheiser SKM 2000 wireless system. The capsule head provides the best possible suppression of sound originating from 180° to the rear.

KK 205 Directional characteristic: Supercardioid The capsule of the KMS 105 vocal microphone, exclusively for use with the Sennheiser SKM 2000 wireless system. The capsule head has greater directivity and maximizes incident sound from the front as opposed to sound from the rear.

KK 104 S, KK 105 S and KK 105 HD The capsule heads KK 104 S, KK 105 S and KK 105 HD were developed especially for the Sennheiser systems SKM 5200/SKM 5000.

KK 104 S Directional characteristic: Cardioid The capsule of the KMS 104 plus vocal microphone, exclusively for use with the Sennheiser SKM 5200/5000 wireless systems. It provides the best possible suppression of sound originating from 180° to the rear, and has highly effective integrated pop protection.

KK 105 S / KK 105 HD Directional characteristic: Supercardioid The capsule of the KMS 105 vocal microphone, exclusively for use with the Sennheiser SKM 5200/5000 wireless systems. The capsule head has greater directivity and maximizes incident sound from the front as opposed to sound from the rear. The KK 105 S has a multi-level acoustic filter made of wire gauze. The „heavy-duty“ variant, KK 105 HD, has integrated foam pop protection instead of the fine wire gauze screen of the KK 105 S, for even greater resistance to pop sounds. The foam pores also have a greatly increased surface area and can keep extreme moisture away from the capsule.

KMS Series Vocal Microphones

www.neumann.com

he KMS 104/104 plus and the KMS 105 microphones have been developed to optimally transmit the human voice with respect to the demanding conditions present on the live stage. The KMS series has become the internationally acknowledged standard for first-class stage microphones. The high acoustic resolution and smooth frequency response of the microphones ensure that the musician has optimal control of the stage performance at all times. Especially due to their low self-noise and crosstalk behavior which is free of coloration, the KMS microphones are ideal for use with in-ear monitoring systems. The KMS 104 and the KMS 104 plus have a condenser microphone capsule with a cardioid directional characteristic which provides the best possible suppression of sounds originating from behind the microphone. In contrast, with its supercardioid characteristic the KMS 105 is particularly good at suppressing sounds originating from the entire 180° hemisphere behind the microphone. The KMS 104 plus features, compared to KMS 104, a more extended bass frequency response. In close cooperation with professional musicians, with the aid of extensive practical tests, the KMS 104 plus has been especially optimized for the requirements of female voices in the rock and pop field. The user can thus select the version that is optimally suited to the specific application.

Acoustic features The studio condenser capsules used in the microphone versions provide the basis for transmitting all the nuances of the human voice. In comparison with other handheld microphones, which operate mostly with dynamic capsules, the KMS series has a particularly high acoustic transparency, a wide frequency range and a fine resolution of transients.

In KMS microphones, carefully adjusted acoustic filters and transformerless impedance converters that can handle very high sound pressure levels prevent the microphones from being overloaded even by strong plosive sounds. In spite of excellent pop protection, sibilants and “S” sounds are transmitted with their natural accentuation, as is possible only with condenser microphones. Furthermore, the above-mentioned acoustic filters are designed so that the distinctive directional characteristics of the capsules are preserved even in the bass range. The filters thus ensure a very high level of feedback protection for the KMS 104/ 104 plus and KMS 105 vocal microphones when they are used with a stage sound system.

Electrical features Since vocal microphones are typically addressed at close range, for the bass frequency response of the microphones, electronic compensation is used for the proximity effect in the respective capsules. In addition, the microphone has an invariable, built-in highpass filter with a cutoff frequency of 120 Hz (–3 dB, measured in a free sound field). The dynamic range of the KMS microphones is 132 dB, and the maximum sound pressure level is 150 dB. The low self-noise level of only 18 dB-A permits the microphones to be used at high gain levels without the risk of additional noise. Even at large distances, the microphones thus operate with a high signal-to-noise ratio, facilitating the freedom of movement and creativity that are important to the artist. Due to the transformerless output circuit, the microphone signals can be transmitted even through long cables without loss of sound.

Mechanical features Microphones designed for use on stage require a particularly robust construction. The KMS 104/104 plus and KMS 105 therefore have thick-walled metal housings, which also provide effective protection against handling noise. The microphone headgrilles are made of hardened steel. If required, they can easily be unscrewed to permit cleaning of the interior acoustic filters.

Series 180 Miniature Microphones

www.neumann.com

he “Series 180” consists of three compact miniature microphones with patterns that satisfy the demands of all common studio applications. Because of its optimized mechanical construction and conscious omission of modularity, which is unnecessary in many cases, the “Series 180” is predestined for economy-minded production and home recording studios. The KM 183 omnidirectional and KM 185 hypercardioid microphones are based on the tremendously successful KM 184 cardioid microphone, which has become a standard within the global studio community in just a very short time. All “Series 180” microphones are available with either matte black or nickel finish. They come in a folding box with a windshield and two stand mounts that permit connection to the microphone body, or the XLR-connector.

Applications Their slender shapes and the transmission characteristics described below make the “Series 180” especially suitable for a very wide range of tasks in the radio and television sector.

Acoustic features The KM 183 and KM 184 microphones are the successors of the well proven KM 83 and KM 84, which have been used since the seventies worldwide with great success. The KM 185 rounds out the series with a hypercardioid microphone. The KM 183 is a pressure transducer with a boost of approximately 7 dB at 10 kHz in the free field. In the diffuse sound field it has a flat frequency response.

Features • Three different miniature microphones for all typical studio applications

• Trouble-free operation also with unbalanced equipment (e.g., DAT recorders)

• Successor of the worldwide successful KM 83/84

• Set includes windshield and microphone clamp

• Transformerless circuitry

Series 180

The pressure gradient transducers KM 184 and KM 185 feature very smooth frequency responses not only for the 0° axis, but also for lateral (off-axis) sound incidence. In typical usage, there is no coloration of sound over a wide pickup angle. Although the KM 184 has the same capsule as the KM 84, the microphone differs slightly on the 0° frequency response: The KM 184 has a gentle rise at about 9 kHz, a characteristic that was introduced very successfully with the KM 140. The result is a tonal balance that is fresher and livelier when compared to the KM 84 with its flat frequency response in that band. This difference was achieved with just a slight change of the capsule’s rear opening, and is not due to resonances. The KM 185 with its hypercardioid characteristic features attenuation of sound incidence from the side or rear of about 10 dB, with minimum sensitivity at an angle of 120°.

Economy The “Series 180” is a good choice for all users who look for a high-quality miniature microphone, but do not need the complex, modular KM 100 system, which continues to be part of the Neumann product range. The mechanical construction was simplified, for example, capsule and output stage cannot be separated from each other. For this reason the “Series 180” is an economical alternative without giving up the electroacoustic features the users expect from Neumann microphones.

Delivery Range KM 183 (mt) ... 185 (mt) Microphone, WNS 100 Windscreen, SG 21 bk Stand mount Stereo set: 2x KM 183 (mt) ... 185 (mt) Microphone, 2x WNS 100 Windscreen, 2x SG 21 bk Stand mount, Wooden box

Catalog No. Electrical features The “Series 180” microphones have the same transformerless circuitry as is used in the KM 100 system, resulting in excellent technical specifications: Compared to the KM 84 the dynamic range of the KM 184 increased by 24 dB mainly through the reduction of self-noise level to only 22 dB (CCIR) and an increased sound pressure handling capability of up to 138 dB. The microphones operate without any problems, even if the input of following equipment happens to be unbalanced, for example as in some DAT recorders. The output of the “Series 180”, as in all Neumann microphones, is balanced and phantom (48V) powered.

Series KM A Miniature Microphone System

www.neumann.com

he KM A series is a modular small-diaphragm condenser microphone system. As a further development of the successful KM 100 series, it provides a number of electroacoustic and operational advantages through the use of state-of-the-art electronic components. The most modern electroacoustic circuit design is combined with the typical Neumann clean, neutral sound. This permits a multifaceted spectrum of applications. Preferred uses include the recording of acoustic stringed instruments, woodwinds, cymbals and speech, or also room acoustics. Due to their very good bass response, the pressure transducers KK 131, 133 and 183 are excellently suited to choral and orchestral recordings. The KK 133 capsule presents a special feature: Based on the technical design concept of the capsule of the legendary M 50 microphone, Neumann uses titanium for the capsule manufacture. For a miniature condenser microphone, the capsule achieves hitherto unprecedented impulse fidelity and resolution of transients. The system components consist of a passive microphone capsule, the analog KM A output stage, and an extensive program of optional accessories. The impedance converter is now part of the analog KM A output stage, which permits a smaller capsule design. KK series capsules with eight different directional characteristics are available. The sound properties of the KM A microphone system are absolutely identical to those of the KM 100 system.

It should be emphasized that the capsules of the KM A series can also be combined with a digital output stage (KM D). These miniature microphones then operate in accordance with the AES42 standard, permitting an integrated digital workflow via direct conversion of the capsule signal in the digital output stage. The output signal is thus an AES/EBU signal with 24-bit resolution and a sample rate of 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz. The A/D converter principle patented by Neumann guarantees that a very large dynamic range of up to 122 dB-A is maintained over the entire digital production chain.

Construction Depending upon the capsule used, the KM A microphone system is only 93 mm to 110 mm long, with a diameter of 22 mm. The capsule

Acoustic features The KK... capsule heads can be used with the analog KM A (nx) as well as with the digital KM D (nx) output stage. KK 120

The following eight passive microphone capsules are available for the KM A system: KK 120: Figure-eight directional characteristic, pressure gradient transducer

The directional characteristic is achieved with only a single diaphragm, having a diameter of 16 mm. All sound components act directly on this one diaphragm, which results in identical frequency responses and transmission levels at 0째 and 180째. The KK 120 can be combined with other capsules or microphones, and can be used for MS stereo recording.

KK 131: Omni directional characteristic, free-field equalized pressure transducer KK 120 nx

KK 133 nx

The transmission level is flat up to 20 kHz in a free sound field, and decreases above 5 kHz in a diffuse sound field. KK 133:

KM A nx

Omni directional characteristic, diffuse-field equalized pressure transducer

Recommended for recordings in the transition area between a free and diffuse sound field. The diaphragm is made of titanium for maximum impulse fidelity and reproduction of transients. and output stage can be used both modularly and as a compact design. For modular use, an extensive range of accessories is available, consisting of capsule extensions, connecting cables, stand mounts, swivel joints, auditorium hangers and various types of stands.

At 12 kHz, the high frequencies are boosted by 4 dB to 5 dB in a free sound field. Use with the SBK 130 A sound diffraction sphere is strongly recommended. KK 183:

The microphone capsule KK... can be placed at a distance of up to 100 m from the KM A output stage. As a standard solution, the LC 4 microphone cable, with a diameter of 3.5 mm, is available in lengths of 5 m or 10 m. Alternatively, a capsule KK... can be screwed directly into the KM A output stage, resulting in a compact miniature microphone (KM A series). The dimensions of the analog KM A output stage are identical to those of the digital KM D output stage. This enables the same accessories to be used, permitting a problem-free changeover, or parallel digital and analog operation.

Omni directional characteristic, diffuse-field equalized pressure transducer

At 10 kHz, the high frequencies are boosted by approximately 7 dB in a free sound field. This compensates for the loss of high frequencies in a diffuse sound field, so that a flat frequency response is achieved. KK 184: Cardioid directional characteristic, pressure gradient transducer

Very uniform frequency response curves, which parallel the curve for incident sound at 0째.

KK 143: Wide-angle cardioid directional characteristic, pressure gradient transducer

Application Hints

The attenuation amounts to 4 dB at 90°, 8 dB at 135°, and 11 dB at 180°. The frequency response curves for incident sound from the front (+/-90°) are parallel up to 12 kHz.

KK 120 + KM A • MS-Stereo microphone, in combination with the KM 184 A or KM 185 A or KMR 81 i • Two crossed KK 120s in Blumlein technique

KK 145:

• Inconspicuous spot microphone with optimum attenuation of lateral sound sources

Cardioid directional characteristic with acoustic bass roll-off, pressure gradient transducer

• Single microphone for two speakers facing each other

The acoustic bass roll-off in a free sound field serves to suppress low-frequency interference (e.g. wind noise and structure-borne sound).

KK 131 + KM A

The proximity effect, physically determined by pressure gradient microphones, results in a flat frequency response (“speech cardioid”) when the microphone is addressed from a distance of approximately 15 cm.

KK 133 + KM A

KK 185: Hypercardioid directional characteristic, pressure gradient transducer

The attenuation of sound from the sides and rear amounts to 10 dB in each case. There is minimal sensitivity to incident sound at 120°.

• Its special acoustic properties make this an ideal mic for most classical recordings • Main mic, especially for capturing room acoustics • A superb AB stereo pair for perfect balance of direct and reverberant sound • Decca tree, setup with three microphones • Spot mic for piano, wind instruments, organ, choir

Electrical features The microphone circuitry of the KM A microphone system operates without a transformer, with a phantom power of 48 V. The newly developed circuitry design reduces the self-noise of the KM A miniature condenser microphone series and increases the dynamic range by approximately 3 dB-A. The use of state-of-the-art electronic components improves the resistance of the microphones to electromagnetic interference (EMC), resulting in lower sensitivity to high-frequency interference signals.

KK 143 + KM A • Polar response characteristic acts more like an omni. Therefore, it is an ideal tool to record larger instrument ensembles • As AB stereo pair, especially in rooms with less than ideal acoustics • As spot mic for strings, wind instruments, percussion, and Leslie speakers • Acts very neutral when used close up to bass instruments, such as double bass, bass amps, guitar amps

KK 145 + KM A • It naturally compensates for proximity effect • Very neutral tonal balance during close miking of speech, as in TV, movie and video, PA

Pre-attenuation The KM A output stage has a switch for pre-attenuation of 10 dB. The attenuation is achieved by reducing the capsule voltage. The microphones can then handle sound pressure levels of up to 152 dB (KM 185 A) with no problem.

• Acts very neutral when used close up to bass instruments, such as double bass, bass amps, guitar amps, leslie speakers, toms

KK 183 + KM A = KM 183 A • Ideal as AB stereo pair because of the flat frequency response in the diffuse sound field • For close miking of instruments when there is no need to attenuate extraneous noise, and in a

KM 100 Miniature Microphone System

www.neumann.com

109

he variable condenser miniature microphone system consists of several active microphone capsules with different directional characteristics, an output stage, and numerous accessories. Currently there are seven active capsules available: omni diffuse-field equalized, omni free-field equalized, cardioid, wide-angle cardioid, cardioid with bass roll-off, hypercardioid, and figure-8. Through the modular construction of mic capsules and the output stage it is very easy to adapt the system to a wide range of applications. The mic becomes nearly invisible during work with cameras (film, video), on stage, or suspended from the ceiling in a concert hall. An active capsule can also be screwed directly onto the output stage. The result is a compact miniature microphone.

Construction The microphones are only 92 or 110 mm resp. long and 22 mm in diameter. They consist of the condenser capsule and the output stage. Both parts can be unscrewed from each other. The system offers several condenser capsules with different directional characteristics. Numerous accessories can be mounted between the capsules and the output stage. The capsules attach to cables, capsule extensions, swivel mounts, table stands, goosenecks, stereo mounts, and hangers. Therefore, it is very easy to adapt the system to a wide range of applications.

Features

110

• Miniature microphones with 7 exchangeable capsules

• Switchable 10 dB preattenuation

• Active capsules, detachable up to 50 m from the output stage

• Set includes windshield and two different clamps

• Great variability through capsule extensions and goosenecks

• Transformerless circuitry • Extensive accessories

The active capsule itself is only 35 or 47 mm resp. long. The KM 100 output stage and the active microphone capsule may be separated by up to 50 m of interconnecting cable. These cables are 3 mm in diameter, and therefore very inconspicuous.

KM 100

Acoustic features AK 20 is a pressure gradient transducer with the figure-8 characteristic, realized with a single diaphragm. The diaphragm diameter is just 16 mm. All sound field components reach the diaphragm directly. This results in identical frequency response curves and output levels at 0° and 180° sound incidence. Corresponding accessories allow combining the AK 20 with other active capsules or microphones to obtain an MS-Stereo setup.

AK 30 is a diffuse-field equalized pressure transducer with a flat frequency response up to 10 kHz (in the diffuse field). In the free sound field this microphone has a boost of approximately 7 dB at 10 kHz.

AK 31 is a free-field equalized pressure transducer with a flat frequency response up to 20 kHz (in the free field). In the diffuse sound field this microphone has a high frequency rolloff above 5 kHz.

AK 40 is a pressure gradient transducer with cardioid characteristic. The frequency curves are very smooth and match 0° sound incidence. Sound from sources within a pickup angle of ± 135° is reproduced without any coloration.

AK 43 is a pressure gradient transducer with wide-angle cardioid characteristic. Attenuation at 90° is 4 dB, at 135° it is 8 dB and at 180° it is 11 dB. The frequency response curves for sound sources within an angle of ± 90° are parallel up to 12 kHz.

AK 45 is a pressure gradient transducer with cardioid characteristic, similar to the AK 40. However, it has an acoustic bass roll-off that is useful during applications when subsonic and low frequencies may cause difficulties. The AK 45 is optimized for a flat low frequency response at a recording distance of 15 cm (“speech cardioid”).

AK 50 is a pressure gradient transducer with hypercardioid characteristic. Attenuation of sound incidence from the side or rear is about 10 dB, with minimum sensitivity at an angle of 120°.

111

use of accessories, for example, when the capsule is detached from the output stage and mounted on a cable or a gooseneck. Even with a long cable between active capsule and output stage, the signal is immune to external interference.

Preattenuation The output stage has a 10 dB switch. Attenuation is achieved by reducing the capsule voltage to one third. When the switch is on, the microphone is capable of accepting sound pressure levels up to 150 dB without being overloaded.

Connectors To diminish the number of connectors within the KM 100 System some accessories were modified. They can now be screwed directly onto the KM 100 output stage without using the KA 100 cable adapter. The new accessories which include the cable adapter, were renamed adding the suffix KA. For example: LC 3 is now LC 3 KA.

Electrical features

The separate KA 100 cable, needed for older accessories, will be available also in future.

The KM 100 is phantom powered (48 V) and uses transformerless output circuitry. This has several advantages. It features high output capability and extremely low self noise. It provides exceptionally clean sound, free of any coloration. As with traditional transformers, this circuit approach ensures good common mode rejection. The balanced output signal is protected against interference.

The KM 100 output stage has a 3-pin XLR connector.

The construction is extremely compact. The entire microphone circuitry is on a single hybrid module measuring only 2 cm² in area. It is built into the microphone capsule, therefore the term “active capsules”. All sensitive components are protected within the capsule. As a result, the quality of the audio signal is never compromised through the

112

Sound diffraction sphere The SBK 130 A sound diffraction sphere slips onto the front of the KM 130/KM 131 pressure microphones. The diaphragm becomes an integral part of the surface of the sphere. This affects the frequency response of the microphones. While sounds coming from the front-half space are emphasized by up to 2.5 dB between 2 kHz and 10 kHz, sounds arriving from the rear-half space are attenuated by a maximum of 2.5 dB in the range above 5 kHz. Since the sound diffraction sphere causes the pressure buildup of the KM 130/KM 131 pressure microphones to begin earlier, the frequency response rises smoothly in the middle

KM 100

and upper range. This is similar to a typical pressure gradient microphone, where the directivity increases with rising frequencies. However, since the KM 130/KM 131 are pressure microphones, they maintain a linear sensitivity down to the lowest frequencies. This changing directivity allows to record at a greater distance from the sound source, and makes the KM 130/KM 131 microphones especially suited as stereo main microphones in A-B configurations.

Stereo recordings By means of the AC 30 adapter cable two active capsules, AK 20 and e.g. AK 40 can be connected as MS stereo pair directly with the MTX 191 (A) matrix amplifier. The XY or MS signal is then available at the 5-pin XLR output connector of the MTX 191 (A), and the recording angle can be electrically remote controlled. The output stages KM 100 are then not required.

Stereo set The cardioid and hypercardioid microphones are also available as complete stereo sets, SKM 140 and SKM 150, including all accessories in a single jeweler's box. A further SKM 100-MS Stereo Set containing the micro-phones KM 120 and KM 140 is available.

KU 100 Dummy Head

www.neumann.com

121

he KU 100 dummy head is a binaural stereo microphone. It resembles the human head and has two microphone capsules built into the ears. When listening through high-quality headphones it gives the illusion of being right at the scene of the acoustic events. When using the KU 100 dummy head, the binaural stereo experience moves the listener into the scene of the original performance, in contrast to other space-related recording techniques, where the acoustic event is moved to the listener. The dummy head is also used in many industrial applications as a measuring device, for example in acoustic research. The KU 100 can be operated with typical 48 V phantom powering, or from an external power supply unit, or from the built-in battery. At the bottom of the unit is a switch for the different power supply modes, as well as connectors for balanced and unbalanced output signals. Inside the head are additional switches for 10 dB attenuation and the highpass filter.

The Idea The KU 100 dummy head is a replica of the human head with a microphone built into each ear. When the recorded audio signal is reproduced through high-quality headphones the listener perceives a sound image almost identical to the one he would have heard at the recording location of the dummy head (head-related stereophony).

Features • Dummy head for head-related stereophony

• Two-stage switchable low frequency roll-off

• Pressure transducer with flat diffuse-field frequency response

• Switchable 10 dB preattenuation

• Loudspeaker compatible

• Balanced and unbalanced outputs (XLR and BNC)

• Transformerless circuitry

122

When played back through loudspeakers, the sound matches to a high degree that of conventional stereo microphones, placed in the same position. However, a superior quality is added, that of a distinct spatial depth perception.

KU 100

The KU 100 dummy head is just as easy to use during creative radio drama productions, and music recordings where the room acoustics should be recorded at the same time. The dummy head is also contributed essentially as an important tool to preserve natural sounds of all kinds. In addition, the dummy head is frequently used to examine and document the influence of noise in industrial applications at various working places under realistic conditions.

Filter and attenuation A 10 dB switch inside the head attenuates the sensitivity. A second switch selects the cutoff frequency of the high-pass filter to be either linear, 40 Hz, or 150 Hz.

Delivery range The KU 100 comes in a robust aluminum carrying case, together with an external power supply unit, a 5-pin XLR cable, and an adapter cable that splits the 5-pin XLR output into two 3-pin XLR connectors.

Electrical features The KU 100 uses transformerless circuitry with the advantage of high output capability, fast transient response, and extremely low self noise. The usual output transformers are replaced by electronic circuits. As with traditional transformers, this technique ensures good common mode rejection, and prevents RF interference, that may influence the balanced audio signals. The dummy head provides balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (BNC) outputs. It can be powered in three different modes: from an external P48 phantom power supply, with batteries as part of the internal battery supply, or from an external AC mains supply (included with the system).

USM 69 i Stereo Microphone

www.neumann.com

125

he USM 69 i stereo microphone has two separate dual-diaphragm capsules. These are mounted vertically and rotate against each other. The directional polar patterns can be selected separately for each capsule. The capsules operate independently from each other.

Applications The USM 69 i condenser stereo microphone is a studio microphone for intensity stereo recording. It is suitable for XY and MS recordings.

Construction The microphone consists of the amplifier section and the capsule head. The amplifier section contains two microphone amplifiers operating independently from each other. They have an extremely low self noise. Two completely separate microphone capsules are positioned closely above each other within the capsule head. Their diaphragms are made out of gold-sputtered polyester film. The upper capsule rotates against the lower one over a range of 270°. Color markings on the lower capsule system help to identify the angle by which the upper capsule has been rotated. When sound waves reach the microphone capsules from different directions they will generate audio signals with different intensity only, but not with time differences, since the capsules are in close proximity and the sound arrives at both capsules simultaneously. The result is an intensity stereo signal that can be summed together for excellent mono compatibility without causing interference.

Polar patterns The USM 69 i has two built-in rotary switches. The five polar patterns of both capsules can be selected at the microphone itself. Therefore, no special AC power supply units or powering adapters are necessary. The two outputs attach directly to any 48 V phantom powered connectors.

Features • Switchable stereo microphone • Two pressure-gradient transducers with double membrane capsules • MS- or XY-stereophony • Capsules rotary by 270° • Very low noise

126

• Aperture and pick-up angles freely choosable • Directional characteristics reproducably switchable, omni, wide angle cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, figure-8

In addition to the usual polar patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8, we have added a hypercardioid and a wide-angle cardioid pattern. A built-in DC converter generates the required capsule polarizing voltages.

USM 69 i

Electrical features The amplifiers feature high output capability and extremely low self noise. Distant sound sources, as well as very loud sound sources at close range can therefore be recorded without any problem. Each amplifier has an active filter. It effectively suppresses subsonic interference as caused by wind or structure borne noise. At the same time, the filter prevents the output transformers from overloading through very low frequency energy.

Use as a mono microphone

Application Hints • As XY stereo mic • As MS stereo mic • Overall stereo main mic (overhead) • Announcer’s mic for broadcasting, drama, features... These are just some of the most common applications. We recommend additional experimentation to gain maximum use from this microphone.

Delivery Range Microphone USM 69 i (mt)

The microphones may also be used as completely independent mono microphones. There are many applications when it is important to have a second mono microphone as a backup, or when the outputs of microphones with different polar response characteristics must be available simultaneously. The outputs of the two microphone channels can be linked (cascaded). In addition to the individual directional patterns, other characteristics are available through the combination of both channels.

The second amplifier will be unaffected, even in case of a faulty ground of the supply voltage for one of the channels, or a short circuit in one of the outputs. The microphone is reliable in mono usage, even if only one of the systems is operated and connected. Its simple and redundant circuitry guarantees a low failure rate.

A complete survey and detailed descriptions of all accessories are contained in the accessories catalog.

Should the DC converter ever fail, a diode circuit within the microphone ensures that both systems will remain operational. The cardioid pattern is automatically chosen. The sensitivity is reduced by 3 dB.

KMR 81/82 i Shotgun Microphones

www.neumann.com

129

he KMR 81 and KMR 82 are shotgun microphones with a high directivity that remains within the acceptance angle independent of the frequency. The advantage is that a sound source, for example an actor on stage, will not change its apparent tonal balance when moving within this area.

Applications

length, the microphones work as pressure gradient transducers. At higher frequencies they operate as interference transducers for lateral sound. Off-axis sound sources are picked up with reduced level, but without coloration. Therefore, the microphones are well suited to record individual instruments of an orchestra. The pickup areas of several shotgun microphones may even overlap as, for example, during recordings on a large stage, without causing any problem. The KMR 81 and KMR 82 are less sensitive to wind and pop noise when compared to the KM 150 miniature microphone with a similar high directivity. Both shotgun microphones feature extremely low self noise, good impulse response, and high output level.

Shotgun microphones are particularly useful in recording situations where a microphone cannot be positioned within the desired distance of the sound source to produce a sufficiently loud signal level.

Polar pattern

Typical applications are film and video recordings, where the microphone should not appear in the picture.

KMR 81 and KMR 82 are shotgun microphones with a very directional characteristic.

The KMR 82 is very often used on stage. The KMR 81 has been specifically designed for electronic news gathering.

The microphone capsule is positioned inside a housing tube that is acoustically open but has a high flow resistance.

Acoustic features

The directional patterns of the microphones are lobe shaped. The attenuation of lateral sound is practically independent of the frequency.

In principle, Neumann shotgun microphones use a combination of a pressure gradient transducer and an interference tube. If the wavelength of the frequency is longer than the tube

Features • Interference tube microphones with shotgun directional characteristic

• 90°/45°-recording angle

• Interference/pressure-gradient transducer

• Extensive accessories for outdoor use

• High lateral and back attenuation

• Light weight: 145 g/250 g

130

• Switchable filter or preattenuation features

The KMR 82 has a frequency independent directivity within a pickup angle of 45° for audio signals that determine the tonal balance of the program material. For the KMR 81, this angle is 90°.

KMR 81/82 i

Filter and attenuation KMR 81 i

Use on location

The microphone has a 10 dB attenuation switch to prevent the input of the following unit from overloading.

The shotgun microphones feature very high output capability and a remarkably low selfnoise level.

A second switch activates a 200 Hz high-pass filter. Toward the lower frequencies the sensitivity of the microphone is attenuated by approximately 15 dB at 50 Hz. The frequency range above 200 Hz is unaffected.

Filter KMR 82 i Between 2 kHz and 15 kHz the KMR 82 has a boost to compensate for HF transmission losses in air when recording distant sound sources.

Their low power consumption, light weight, and low sensitivity to wind and handling noise, make them ideal tools for news gathering on location. Small dimensions, together with a balanced center of gravity, make handling easy without any whiplash effect. However, when on location and during strong wind conditions, we recommend using an additional wind screen (included as standard accessory). The wind screen is made of polyurethane foam. For mobile use a handle and an elastic suspension are available.

This may overemphasize any sibilance if the microphone is used close-up. Therefore, a two-position slide switch allows to select the setting that is best for balanced upper frequencies. The KMR 82 has a high-pass filter to suppress subsonic interference. The cutoff frequency may be raised to 120 Hz (â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3 dB) with a built-in two-position slide switch.

Application Hints • Recordings for - broadcasting/ENG, - film and video productions • Medium length shotgun spot mic in noisy surroundings • Balanced weight during handheld and boom/ fishpole operation These are just some of the most common applications.

motion conveyed with technical perfection. This is the ideal which the Neumann microphones in the Broadcast Line have been designed to fulfill. The fine-tuning to the requirements of professional broadcast studios and the individual, functionally optimized design* ensure that these are microphones of character. With its large-diaphragm condenser capsule and cardioid directional characteristic, the BCM 104 is ideal for the faithful reproduction of speech and music. This is due, for instance, to the frequency response that is flat up to 3 kHz and then gradually boosted in the higher frequencies. If required, internal switches can be used to compensate for the proximity effect and to reduce the sensitivity by 14 dB. The versatility of the BCM 104 can be seen in its wide range of applications, from news, to round-table discussions, to radio plays, to musical recordings.

Mechanical Features The microphone headgrille twists off easily for quick cleaning. Neumann offers optional color-coded headgrilles so that, for reasons of hygiene, each announcer can use his or her individual headgrille. In front of the capsule, mounted on a frame holder, a fine gauze serves as a built-in popscreen. The microphones of the Broadcast Line have an elastic mount against structure-borne noise, that is compatible with standard broadcast-segment microphone arms.

Acoustic Features The microphone headgrille houses the K 04 largediaphragm capsule, which has a flat frequency response up to 3 kHz. Higher frequencies have an increased presence up to 2 dB.

* The design of the microphone is a registered design of the Georg Neumann GmbH in certain countries.

Since the above-mentioned microphone characteristics are obtained without the use of resonance effects, the microphone features excellent transient response and transmits all transient phenomena of music and speech without any coloration.

The integrated Pop Screen A pop screen not only prevents the occurrence of plosive pop noises in vocal recordings, but also efficiently prevents unwanted particles, from respiratory moisture, nicotine, to food remnants, from settling on the diaphragm. The pop screen can be removed for cleaning without the use of tools.

BCM 104

Electrical features Delivery Range Instead of a transformer to couple the microphone output to the supply voltage, the BCM 104 has an electronic circuit which, like a transformer, provides for good common mode rejection. Interference induced in the balanced modulation line is thus suppressed effectively. With a very low selfnoise of 7 dB(A), and an overload capability extending to 138 dB SPL, the BCM 104 has a dynamic range of 131 dB (A-weighted).

Filter and Preattenuation The BCM 104 amplifier has a linear operation down to 20 Hz. An active filter efficiently suppresses signals below this frequency. In order to compensate for the proximity effect, an electronic high-pass filter, activated by a switch, is built into the microphone. This filter reduces frequencies below 100 Hz by 12 dB/octave.

Microphone cable, IC 3 mt ............. blk ...... 006543 A complete survey and detailed descriptions of all accessories are contained in the accessories catalog Meaning of color codes: blk = black, ni = nickel

A 14-dB preattenuation switch is provided in order to adjust the sensitivity, if necessary, to circuits designed for dynamic microphones. This will increase the self noise level accordingly. Both switches are located inside the microphone housing, since they will normally be operated only once, when the broadcasting facility is set up.

Features • Large-diaphragm condenser capsule

Mounting

• Cardioid directional characteristic • Characteristic, functionally optimized design

The preferred mode of operation is to suspend the microphones in the Broadcast Line from a standard studio boom arm. A thread adapter to fit different connector threads is included. In order to provide protection from structure-borne noise, both the capsule and the microphone in its mount are elastically suspended. The optional SG 5 swivel mount allows additional angling of the microphone by ±90 degrees.

• Integrated, neutral pop protection • Integrated elastic suspension • Individual headgrilles for different users • Colored rings to identify the replacement headgrilles • Easy removal and cleaning of microphone headgrille (with bayonet mount) • Mechanical compatibility with standard studio boom arms • Internal switches: high-pass and preattenuation

motion conveyed with technical perfection. This is the ideal which the Neumann microphones in the Broadcast Line have been designed to fulfill. The fine-tuning to the requirements of professional broadcast studios and the individual, functionally optimized design* ensure that these are microphones of character. The BCM 705 is Neumannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first dynamic microphone. The housing and headgrille are identical to those of the BCM 104; only the green logo indicates that this is something new from Neumann. The principle of reduction to the essentials can be seen in the dynamic capsule with a hypercardioid directional characteristic, specifically designed for speech reproduction at close range. Multi-level isolation from structureborne noise ensures operation free of interference, even in a lively studio environment.

Mechanical Features The microphone headgrille twists off easily for quick cleaning. Neumann offers optional, color-coded headgrilles so that, for reasons of hygiene, each announcer can use his or her individual headgrille. The microphones of the Broadcast Line have an elastic mount against structure-borne noise, that is compatible with standard broadcastsegment microphone arms.

Acoustic Features * The design of the microphone is a registered design of the Georg Neumann GmbH in certain countries.

The frequency response has a light treble boost, in the region from 2 kHz to 9 kHz, aiding the speech intelligibility. The bass frequency response is designed to compensate for the overemphasis of the bass caused by the proximity effect.

Windscreens Sets for Shotgun Microphones When microphones are used in outdoor applications, with strong winds and vibrations, WKE... windscreen sets should be used for best performance. The windscreens will attenuate sound only in

the uppermost frequency range. Wind noise attenuation was measured without electrical filtering in a turbulent air stream traveling at 20 km/h, generated by a noiseless wind machine.

Foam Windscreens Close range sounds, wind, and fast movements of the microphone boom, all may cause interfering noises. To avoid these unwanted sounds, windscreen accessories are available. Typically, they are made out of open-cell polyurethane foam. These windscreens do not cause interfering resonances and do not influence the direc-

tional pattern. Only in the upper frequency range is the output level slightly attenuated. The wind noise attenuation was measured without electrical filtering in a turbulent air stream traveling at 20 km/h, generated by a noiseless wind machine.

Matrix Amplifier MTX 191 A (for RSM 191 and AK 20/40) The MTX 191 A matrix amplifier is used for processing the MS microphone signals of the RSM 191 shotgun stereo microphone, or the active capsules AK 20 and AK 40. The level of the side signal is variable, independent of which output mode is selected (MS or XY). It is adjusted through a rotary switch in 3 dB steps from -9 dB to +6 dB, relative to the level of the middle signal. Consequently the pickup angle is varied in steps between 60° and 170°. Depending on the position of the rotary switch on the front of the matrix amplifier the output provides either an MS- or XY-signal. The XY-signal is obtained from the MS-signal by summation (X = M + S) or subtraction (Y = M – S). In both modes an electric left-right-inversion is alternatively possible if during the recording the microphone is turned upside-down.

Cat. No. 007331

To suppress low frequent interfering noise the matrix amplifier has a switchable high-pass filter at 40(LIN)/80/200 Hz. The power for both matrix amplifier and microphone, is either supplied by a 9 V battery (IEC 6 F 22), or through external 48 V phantom powering. The RSM 191 is connected with the 7-pin KT 5/KT 6 cables. Two AK... active capsules can be connected with an AC 30 cable. The audio is passed through a XLR 5 M connector. The output signal is DC-free. Use AC ... adapter cables to connect the audio to unbalanced inputs.

Power Supplies and Matrix Amplifier Power Supply N 149 A (for tube microphones) The N 149 A power supply generates the necessary operating voltages for one tube microphone. It operates with all mains voltages from 100 V to 240 V, 50 or 60 Hz. Mains power is connected through a standard IEC 320 socket. The microphone connects via an DIN-8 connector. The microphone signal is fed to a XLR 3 M connector. The modulation output is balanced. The N 149 A supplies the bias voltages for the microphone capsule, the filament voltage controlled by a sensor circuit, and a further voltage to generate the plate voltage and other necessary operating voltages within the microphone itself. The unit produces constant current effecting a soft start of the tube. The KT 8 cable between microphone and power supply can be up to 100 m long. Modulation cable lengths up to approx. 300 m are allowed.

Active Capsules for Miniature Microphone System KM 100 AK... active capsules are part of the variable miniature microphone system. Together with the KM 100 output stage, AK... active cap-

sules form a complete microphone. AK 30 and KM 100, for example, make up the KM 130.

Active Capsule AK 20

Active Capsule AK 43

AK 20 is a pressure gradient transducer with the figure-8 characteristic, realized with a single diaphragm. The diaphragm diameter is just 16 mm. All sound field components reach the diaphragm directly. This results in identical frequency response curves and output levels at 0° and 180° sound incidence. Corresponding accessories allow combining the AK 20 with other active capsules or microphones to obtain an MS-Stereo setup.

The AK 43 is a pressure gradient transducer with wide-angle cardioid characteristic. Attenuation: 4 dB at 90°, 8 dB at 135°, and 11 dB at 180°. The frequency response for sound sources within an angle of ± 90° (off axis) is parallel up to 12 kHz. AK 43 ................... blk ........ Cat. No. 069014

AK 45 is a pressure gradient transducer with cardioid characteristic just like the AK 40. However, it has an acoustic bass roll-off characteristic in the free field and therefore suppresses interfering LF noise (wind, structure-borne noise). Since proximity effect is a natural feature of pressure gradient microphones, the AK 45 appears to be optimized for a flat frequency response at a recording distance of approximately 15 cm (speech cardioid).

Digital Microphone Interfaces and Power Supplies Digital Microphone Interface DMI-2 Equipment that supports the AES42 standard can process the output signals of Solution-D microphones directly. In all other cases, the DMI-2 or DMI-8 digital microphone interface is used. The DMIs convert the AES42 data format supplied by the microphone into an AES/EBU signal. The Interface is operated via the Neumann RCS remote control software, which is installed on a desktop or laptop computer. The computer is connected to the DMI via a USB port and a USB to RS 485 interface converter. If a large number of microphones is used, several DMIs can be cascaded. In this case, each digital microphone interface can be addressed individually. In addition to a word clock input and output, the DMIs also have an internal word clock generator. If no master word clock signal (e.g. from a mixing console) is present at the input, the DMI internal word clock is used automatically to synchronize the microphone channels, and the signal is switched to the word clock output. External commands such as „On Air“ (red light) can be controlled via a 9-pin user port.

Digital Microphone Interfaces and Power Supplies Digital Microphone Interface DMI-8 Equipment that supports the AES42 standard can process the output signals of Solution-D microphones directly. In all other cases, the DMI-2 or DMI-8 digital microphone interface is used. The DMIs convert the AES42 data format supplied by the microphone into an AES/EBU signal.

8 channels, AES42 Inputs: ................... XLR3F (Audio data in accordance with AES/EBU (AES3) data format), Digital phantom power (DPP), Remote control data

The Interface is operated via the Neumann RCS remote control software, which is installed on a desktop or laptop computer. The computer is connected to the DMI via a USB port and a USB to RS 485 interface converter. If a large number of microphones is used, several DMIs can be cascaded. In this case, each digital microphone interface can be addressed individually.

Outputs: ............. AES/EBU (AES3) data format (2x SUB-D25, Yamaha® and Tascam® pinout), ADAT® (1x Toslink, up to 48 kHz), GN format (1x RJ 45), Word Clock (AES11), 2x BNC, CTL Bus (RS 485), 2x RJ 45 ports, User Port (9-pin SUB-D)

In addition to a word clock input and output, the DMIs also have an internal word clock generator. If no master word clock signal (e.g. from a mixing console) is present at the input, the DMI internal word clock is used automatically to synchronize the microphone channels, and the signal is switched to the word clock output. External commands such as „On Air“ (red light) can be controlled via a 9-pin user port. The DMI-8 offers several possibilities for easy integration into audio networks. The ES100 module permits integration into EtherSound networks.

Microphone synchronization: .................... AES42 – Mode 2 (synchronous mode) Microphone clock control via PLL DMI-8 synchronization ................ automatically to an external word clock or AES11 signal, if present, otherwise the internal word clock generator is activated Word clock (or AES11) input ....................................................... BNC, Vin .................. >100 mV at 75 ohms Word clock (or AES11) output .................. BNC, Vout = Vin (external synchronization) Vout .......... approx. 1.5 V at 75 ohms (internal word clock generator) Internal word clock generator: .......................... 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 / 176.4 / 192 kHz Control Bus: ............................ 2 x RJ 45 ports; connection to computer USB port via the Neumann USB 485 interface converter; connected in parallel for the purpose of cascading. RS 485 with additional power-out pin (approx. +11.3 V, max. 500 mA) User Port: .................................... 9-pin SUB-D, 1 switch function per channel (Mute and/or Light 1/ Light 2 selectable) Control elements: ........... 8x CHANNEL SELECT, GAIN +/– Indicators: ......... Power, Ext Word Clock, Valid, Level (microphone) Power supply: ......... 90 V to 240 V, 50/60 Hz. Storage of the last microphone settings and reloading to the microphones after power on automatically without the need of the computer/RCS. DMI-8 EU ............................. Cat.
